A gift for juarever. This is actually my first attempt to actually make something in Koikatsu beyond just characters, as well as my 200th post overall!

Ale (short for Alejandra, pronounced ah-lay) is juarever's OC. She was born as the Goddess of Size (referring more to spatial manipulation than the cosmos). After consuming a potion made by her friend Sally, her power began continually growing to infinity. Ordinarily undergoing something like that would result in ego death--your individuality evaporates and you effectively die. However, thanks to Ale's divinity and enormous mental fortitude, she was able to retain her sense of self and transcend infinity, effectively becoming omnipotent. Fortunately, that potion Sally made is inextricably linked to Ale, so while anyone else who consumes the potion is powered up, the effect is temporary and they are entirely under Ale's control.

I used quite a few mods and user-generated content for this project. Most of it either comes with the game or is in the Sideloader Modpack, so I'll only be citing what isn't from either:

• The custom iris texture was made by me specifically for Koikatsu. It's currently not available publicly.
• The texture for Ale's "MEGA CAKE" shirt was originally made by WraxTV for a Hana Uzaki card. You've probably seen her before--she has a shirt reading "SUGOI DEKAI". So I edited that texture to instead read "MEGA CAKE".
• Similarly, I made a custom texture for the thigh high socks to add the stripes seen in juarever's artwork. The blue color came from the aforementioned shirt texture, but the rest was solely my work.
• Before this project, I had only briefly toyed with Koikatsu's CharaStudio, not really understanding how anything worked. That said, The Complete Brainlet's Guide to CharaStudio was a big help.

Working title: sally a big

Another Koikatsu render as a gift for juarever, depicting their and Yukio's OCs Ale and Sally (see the page's header for clarification) having fun with the former's powers of spatial manipulation on a soccer field at night.

Growing to arbitrarily colossal sizes is standard fare for the omnipotent goddess Ale, but not for alche-witch Sally. The tail dangling from her lower back is actually a creature known as a succuleech. As the name suggests, it has traits resembling those of both succubi and leeches, connecting itself with an animal who can experience sexual arousal and melding with their nervous system, dramatically augmenting their libido. Sally originally strived to keep hers in check, but all the time she spent in the presence of a goddess has dramatically raised her confidence. At times, she almost feels like a demigoddess, though she's far too humble to ever admit it.

Ale's standard height is 177 cm (not actually true, see the transcript above), and I upscaled her 8 times, making her 1416 cm here. Likewise, Sally's standard height (more specifically, how juarever typically draws her) is 150 cm, and I upscaled her 9 times, making her 1350 cm here.

...at least in theory. In practice, Koikatsu doesn't really have a firmly defined measurement system. There are mods and third-party resources to help guesstimate a character's height based on slider positions, but I'm not convinced it's completely accurate and consistent with the map seen here. Soccer nets can vary in size depending on the league, indoor vs. outdoor, and so on. Suffice it to say Ale and Sally are much bigger than typical humans here.

On the mods front, most of what you see either comes with the game or is available in the Sideloader Modpack, with the following notes/exceptions:

• The iris texture seen on Ale (and also in place for Sally, though it's not visible here) is custom-made by me and is currently not publicly available.
• Ale's "MEGA CAKE" shirt texture originally read "SUGOI DEKAI", for use on a Hana Uzaki model by WraxTV. Her thigh highs come with the game, but the texture was edited slightly by me to add the stripes, using the same shade of blue as her shirt.
• Sally's pantyhose use diffuse, normal, and detail maps that came with the game but were modified by me to improve detail and fidelity. I added a seam running along the inside of her legs and what's known as shadow toe: a darker reinforced section at toe portion of the garment.
• Sally's succuleech tail was originally designed to be a tail for Bowsette. Said tail and other relevant accessories are in the Sideloader Modpack, but I edited the texture to make its horns invisible and completely revamped its textures to give it the wet segmented look it's supposed to have.
